Driver Booster for Windows

• 01 / scanning

  Automatic Driver Scanning

  Driver Booster inventories the devices in your PC and compares their installed drivers with its database, flagging drivers that are outdated, missing or reported as faulty, so you start from a clear list rather than guesswork.

• 02 / updating

  One-Click Driver Updates

  Update a single driver or every supported driver at once. Driver Booster downloads and runs the installers for you, so there is no need to find model numbers or browse several manufacturer download pages.

• 03 / coverage

  Extensive Driver Database

  IObit maintains a large cloud database covering graphics, audio, network, chipset, printer and peripheral drivers from major hardware brands. IObit states that the Driver Booster 14 generation draws on more than 23 million drivers.

• 04 / safety net

  Backup and Restore Drivers

  Back up working drivers and create a system restore point before you update. If a new driver causes trouble, you can restore the previous version from the backup or roll Windows back to the restore point.

• 05 / no connection

  Offline Driver Updates

  Useful when a fresh Windows install has no working network driver. IObit lists offline driver updating among the PRO edition's capabilities, so check the current edition comparison before relying on it.

• 06 / gaming

  Game Ready Driver Updates

  Keep NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics drivers current, including Game Ready releases tuned for new titles. Driver Booster 14 also adds detection and repair of missing game DLL files and components.

• 07 / reliability

  Improved PC Stability

  Compatible driver updates can resolve hardware-related crashes, freezes, missing audio or dropped connections. Driver Booster 14 can also show multiple versions of a driver so you can choose a newer one or a more conservative alternative.

• 08 / usability

  User-Friendly Interface

  Driver Booster brings driver scans, device details and available updates together in a clear dashboard. IObit says the current generation ships with a redesigned interface and support for 38 languages, which suits beginners and non-English users alike.

1. 01
   For everyday users

   Keep a home PC running smoothly

   Run a scan every few weeks to catch drivers that have fallen behind, without learning the model number of every component inside your PC.

   For example: after a large Windows feature update, check whether display, audio and network drivers still match the new build.

2. 02
   For gamers

   Prepare for new game releases

   New titles often launch alongside fresh graphics drivers. Driver Booster flags GPU updates and missing game components so you can update before you play.

   Try this: update the graphics driver alone first, restart, and test your game before updating anything else.

3. 03
   After a reinstall

   Fill in missing drivers on a fresh Windows install

   A clean install can leave devices with generic or missing drivers. A scan shows what Windows did not install so you can complete the setup quickly.

   Keep in mind: if the network driver itself is missing, you will need another connection or PRO's offline option.

4. 04
   For peripherals

   Get a printer, webcam or headset working again

   Peripherals often fail quietly when a driver is outdated or corrupted. Driver Booster can reinstall or update the driver for the specific device.

   For example: a Bluetooth headset that keeps disconnecting may only need an updated Bluetooth radio driver.

5. 05
   For troubleshooting

   Rule drivers in or out when something breaks

   When sound, Wi-Fi or display problems appear, checking driver status is a fast first step. Backups let you test a newer driver and roll back if it is not the cause.

   A good habit: change one driver at a time so you know exactly which update fixed or caused a problem.

• Outdated Device Drivers

  Old drivers can lack fixes for bugs, security issues and newer Windows builds.

  Try: run a scan and update the oldest drivers on the list first.

• Missing or Corrupted Drivers

  Yellow warning icons in Device Manager or "unknown device" entries point to a missing or damaged driver.

  Try: let Driver Booster reinstall the driver for that device, then restart.

• Graphics Driver Errors

  Flickering, wrong resolution, black screens or games crashing to desktop.

  Try: update the GPU driver alone; if things get worse, roll back from the backup.

• Audio Driver Problems

  No sound, crackling, or headphones and speakers not detected.

  Try: update the audio driver and check Windows Sound settings for the right output.

• Network Adapter Driver Issues

  Wi-Fi that drops, slow Ethernet, or networks that do not appear at all.

  Try: update the network adapter driver, then restart the router if the problem remains.

• Bluetooth and Peripheral Driver Problems

  Headsets that will not pair, mice that lag, printers or webcams that stop responding.

  Try: update the Bluetooth radio or device driver, then re-pair the device.

Updating drivers can resolve some problems, but it is not a guaranteed fix for every hardware or Windows issue. Failing hardware, bad cables, malware or a damaged Windows installation need different solutions. See our troubleshooting guide for more help.
